Funny thing here is that Zac Efron said in an interview that he HATED Troy as a character and would punch him immediately in the face if given the chance.

Well isn’t this just the most satisfying thing ever seeing Sharpay getting all the respect and Troy getting dragged in the dirt.

Honestly it’s good that Troy doesn’t go with Sharpay. She is so hard working and kind that Troy doesn’t deserve.

BRUH Sharpay gets everything? Y'all aren't looking at Gabriella. She gets to everything without experience half the time smh

I've also noticed that it makes a "Blondes vs Brunettes" fight which is really not something that sits well with me. Oh, sweet, smart brunettes are better than hardworking, pink-loving blondes who are usually cast as the villain. Can we all just...not slap on stereotypes.

Imagine an alternate reality where Matpat starred in high school musical and Zac Efron is doing the theory channels.

I also hate the fact that Ryan and Sharpay are so experienced and they probably worked their behinds off 24/7 to get the parts, only to lose to two beginners who literally have no reason to be the leads of the play

Lets not forget that Sharpay LEARNED ANOTHER LANGUAGE FOR HER AUDITION SONG. Now THAT is effort.

This theory was so satisfying. So may people assume just because a girl is rich, popular and wears makeup, she has to be the biggest jerk in the world. And just because the main protagonist gets the boy, saves a cat and is "naturally pretty", she has to be a saint. Thank you for proving that things aren't that black and white.

Y'know Troy, if theater is really something you want to pursue, you're gonna have to start being comfortable performing alongside people who aren't your girlfriend :/

Just wanna point out something:

And why is Troy the valedictorian when he clearly doesn’t have the grades for it? If I was the hardworking kid with straight A’s I would feel cheated.

Troy is probably the most short sighted person and naive character I’ve ever seen. In addition, the “good guys” are toxic af, Sharpay is actually a good person with something called honor yes I said it Sharpay is the most honorable and morally sound person in the series.

Sharpay was the confident fashionista and drama club outcast that everyone at the school pretended to dislike but secretly admired and envied… she was always sweet at heart and never a true mean girl.

What I always hated is how Troy breaks EVERY PROMISE HE MAKES in High School Musical 2 and has the NERVE to sing a song about how trustworthy he is

Poor Sharpay was villainized when she was just devoted to the arts and still did nice things for Troy and Gabriella. She was only shocked that Troy and Gabriella got the leads when they were late to auditions (Twice!) and have no experience in the arts and put no effort into their performances. Sharpay was betrayed by her own brother too, but she still kept strong and decided to help her high school’s theatre program. Troy and Gabriella got whatever they wanted even when they said and did bad things because they’re the main characters. Sharpay deserves justice.

As a theater kid myself, commitment is incredibly important, especially when you're a main role.

Straight up, in theater if you're not fully committed, you can forget about even getting a part. Troy missing the 1st act thinking he can show up for the 2nd? He's not getting on stage at all.

Garbriella is the only one of the so called “good guys” who isn’t spoiled or rude or mean. She hasn’t done really anything wrong. She actually try’s to be nice. Everyone else is jerks though

Although I agree with every word said in this episode, tone matters. Sharpay constantly throughout the movie says things that are obviously sarcastic or made to put the others down. But once again I do agree she gets out down for nothing, she works hard and deserves to come out on top
